Tech 21 Fly Rig 5: Jazz + Fuzz

[@joesalinas1990]

Wow this dude kicks ass on guitar. And he's getting good time from the fly rig. I gotta get me one.

[@rokinrandy]

I’ve said it before. But the fuzz boost is under rated. It’s smooth. Responsive and it’s insane.

[@tedzomplin4810]

Another great demo of the Flyrig5 ...... Chris ...awesome player my friend ! I can listen to this all day.

[@jacobhartmann1050]

Just bought that Boost Fuzz pedal. It is the absolute BEST fuzz I've ever used- super versatile. That one will be staying on the board for a long time!

[@johngerardmusic7761]

Nice tones and excellent guitar playing!

[@LeighWesleyMusic]

The more of these fly rig videos I see the more excited I get. Guitar is my secondary instrument so to get a small package with some awesome tones ready to go is right up my ally!

[@Nightingale1887]

Wow. Just wow. Such amazing tones! Love the sweet jazzy playing here, very smooth and fluent.

[@benjaminadupuis]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen. Nice playing!

[@iainctduncan]

Nice playing, loooove tech 21!

[@jeanpat8946]

Every thing is awesome the sound the guitar groove !!

[@88namiller]

Good Job Chris. Sounds great!

[@Gerardo.GarciaGarcia]

Excelent pedal, excelent playing. Tnhanks!!!

[@factorfreak]

Oh man, the flyrig is insane! I have quite a few Tech 21 products and I love them all (Trademark 30, PSA 1.1 and Paradriver) but this tiny magic box is top notch! Great product and great demo & player, by the way ;)

[@ricardbennett6487]

Great demo! And nice music too!

[@ClamsAnonymous]

tasty playing!

[@greatvanzini]

Cool, they're finally in & I am getting mine tomorrow!

[@greatvanzini]

Wow between this , the blues vid & even the metal vid it really does blow me away. When will they actually be available?

[@Tech21nyc]

greatvanzinni Repeating this response from the Hair Metal vid for the benefit of others: We have shipped most of the first run, so depends on where you are located. All US units have been delivered. International orders will be leaving here next week.

[@greatvanzini]

Tech21nyc Thanks! Going to look for one tomorrow!

[@MetaphysicalMusician]

Nice wk

[@giggs102]

god that sounds freaking amazing!! no amp in this at all??

[@jnh73]

No kidding, right? This is right into the camera's audio input. No amp anywhere... imagine bringing this to a club gig and having your own monitor? Amps - we don't need no stinkin' amps!

[@rockybalboa2526]

: / THIS GUY "CHRIS"??? IS A GREAT GUITARIST! I HOPE IS WITH A BAND OR HAS HIS OWN BAND? OR IS AT THE LEAST USING A HOME RECORDING STUDIO TO MAKE HIS OWN MUSIC!?? HE IS THAT GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE HEARD!

[@Tech21nyc]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Chris

[@rockybalboa2526]

@@Tech21nyc Hey Chris, you are welcome. thank you for letting me know you got my comments. I really do hope you are making music! IF you are not? you should be.

[@localpm]

Great I'm on the case.

[@soundpark_]

You can still notice it doesn't sound like a real amp, but sure it gets damn close!

[@guilhordas]

is this running direct to the mixer?

[@carawilloughby]

What are the settings being used? There are several maps in the manual for different sounds but none are a jazz sound like this.

[@Tech21nyc]

Rick Willoughby, as you can see, there's a lot of changes being made throughout the playing, so there isn't one specific setting. You can freeze frame during the close ups to get an idea. Even if you follow sample settings exactly, the sound will vary depending on your guitar/other gear and playing style.

[@joeb2861]

So I want to get a male to male xLR coupler to plug into the power engine 60 to ground it. Can I sodder the side not plugged in to got the result needed?

[@Tech21nyc]

Joe B, Yes you can, but the solder may not stick to the pins. With a standard male XLR plug, we know it'll stick to the contacts. If you need further technical assistance, we recommend emailing us directly.

[@rokinrandy]

Ok I got the pedal so please tell me where I can get that jazz backing track so I can try to practice some jazz

[@Tech21nyc]

Took a bit, but we found it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWiwipiJfcR3qZY

[@rokinrandy]

Tech21nyc wow close enough thanks. I’ve been really happy with my tech 21 stuff by the way . Peace.

[@gtar5191]

If I may ask what is the name of the jazz song he is playing.

[@Tech21nyc]

gtar5191, sorry to say, it's not a song. Chris was just improvising.

[@ReyTorres]

Tech21nyc at what track was he improvising to? Was that his own track?

[@Tech21nyc]

L3V17e It's from Coffee Break Grooves: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6uVe4qNmrqSmrM. Guess we picked a good one, eh?

[@ReyTorres]

Tech21nyc You certainly did... I ordered a Fly Rig 5 on Black Friday, thanks to this video ;) Thanks for the source.

[@toneranger]

Hi, I would like to add an external delay pedal with dotted 8ths preprogrammed, should I do that before the input or from the output of the Fly Rig for the best siund ? Thanks

[@Tech21nyc]

It would work better after.

[@toneranger]

@@Tech21nyc thank you lads 👍🏻

[@joeb2861]

Can you show us how to use the flyrig 5 with the power engine 60? In the manual you indicated there could be an issue.

[@Tech21nyc]

Joseph Bertucci, the issue is with the Power Engine's transformer possibly picking up hum from the auto-switching power supply and connecting the ground via the XLR, which is fully explained in the manual. The sonic difference between using a Fly Rig 5 with a Power Engine and going direct would be minimal in a video, however it would probably "feel" different in real life.

[@joeb2861]

Will it sound better overall through the power engine or a small tube amp?

[@Tech21nyc]

Joseph Bertucci, overall, "better" is a very subjective call. That being said, the Power Engine was designed to complement amp emulators/direct recording devices in that it won't color the sound going into it. A tube amp will color the sound. Naturally, we think the Power Engine would be better, but you would have to try it both ways and decide which you like better.

[@eolden7749]

I just got the Fly. It is really nice sounding. I think I'll be parting with a lot of pedals and wires.

[@SkayyiX]

does it make a difference if you put the Fuzz pedal before the flyrig ?

[@Tech21nyc]

It certainly does. With the fuzz before the Fly Rig, you get the Hot/Boost, overdrive, SansAmp and delay all affecting the fuzz tone. With it after, all that tone-shaping comes first, and it should sound very different (especially the delay running into the fuzz). It's really a matter of personal taste. You can try it both ways if everything is running to an amplifier, If there's no amp and you're going straight to the PA, the fuzz can't come after... it will sound very harsh and "buzzy" --unless that's what you want. :-)

[@jjvillafane86]

What did you put around the time, reverb, and tone knobs? I love my Fly Rig but I wanna be able to move settings a little easier on the go..!

[@Tech21nyc]

Juan Villafane, we are calling them Knob Grippers and will be making them available soon. Check our Accessories page under Products in about a week. Or you can email us directly for more info.

[@jjvillafane86]

Tech21nyc Cool, I'll be checking..!

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

Where did you get that backing track? I 'd love to get it. The name?

[@Tech21nyc]

+MrJoeyBoombotz, it's from a series called Coffee Break Grooves, but the link we had (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6uVe4qNmrqSmrM) doesn't work now, for some strange reason. And we can't remember the name... Good luck!

[@iYair23]

Why out put hot rod?

[@Tech21nyc]

+Yair Am, sorry, but we don't understand your question. :-(

[@fometto]

This product will be perfect if has an FX Loop

[@fometto]

***** understood. ...so putting some cab simulation after fly rig and before mixer should be even better? I mean a Palmer PDI09 or even a TwoNotes Torpedo Cab?

[@czardexter]

***** I love it! This gives so much more versatility and a lot of options.. amp/PA mixer/recording etc.

[@fometto]

***** I did not understand your answer man... did I or did NOT to add another speaker simulation

[@fometto]

Now I undertood, I didn't know all Sansamp capabilities. Tks

[@christianfriisjensen2055]

fometto It's a brilliant little thing, isn't it?

[@gardendwellerTX]

Is this ran into a DI?

[@Tech21nyc]

It's running directly into a mixer. A separate DI isn't necessary.

[@gardendwellerTX]

Thanks
